Welcome to the Web site of the British Columbia Review Board.

The British Columbia Review Board is an independent tribunal established
under the Criminal Code of Canada.

The Review Board has ongoing jurisdiction to hold hearings to make and
review dispositions (orders) where individuals charged with criminal offenses
have been given verdicts of not criminally responsible on account of mental
disorder or unfit to stand trial on account of mental disorder, by a court.

It is the responsibility of the Review Board to protect public safety
while also safeguarding the rights and freedoms of mentally disordered
persons who are alleged to have committed an offence.
